Finally! December 19, 2009

I've had several of the regular Klean Kanteen bottles which are great, but I always disliked the fact that the liquid didn't stay cold for long unless the tote was used, and the bottle would sweat quite a bit. I didn't like the tote because it smelled odd and made the bottle awkward to set down on tables. When I saw the insulated bottles I bought 2 of the 20 oz size, one with just the regular loop cap and one with the cafe cap. I have to disagree with what everyone has said about both caps. I love them both! I use the bottle with the loop cap the most, and it keeps my juice cold all day, 9+ hours at work, even without adding ice. The cafe cap doesn't leak for me, either out the opening or around the seal. Of course, it does state that the opening you drink from isn't supposed to be leak-proof, it says it right on the packaging. I don't upend my bottle, but if I did, I might get a few drips at the most. These are great as travel mugs for coffee, they even fit in my car's cup holders. I don't think most travel mugs are completely leak-proof anyway, especially if you can drink out of the cap. Keeps coffee hot for the whole day, just as stated. Would also be great for smoothies or soup. I plan to buy a couple of the 12 oz size for my lunch bag. Another excellent product from Klean Kanteen!
Great bottle...you will not be disappointed! December 6, 2009

OK...it was a little hard to spend this much on a water bottle, but I am glad that I did. Water stays cold a long time & I am sure that a heated drink would stay warm just as long. No metal taste at all! Easy to clean. I'm glad that I spent a little more $$$ and purchased the insulated Klean Kanteen. UPDATE: After four months of using this bottle I appreciate it even more. I live in Florida & this bottle keeps my water cold even AFTER it has sat in my HOT car for several hours!
 Perfect for taking your favorite drinks with you. July 13, 2010

As a student, I feel that I am always on the go and always craving coffee. This bottle is almost magical in its ability to preserve the temperature of your drink (hot or cold), and maintain the taste (no plasticy aftertaste). This is obviously because of the vacuum insulation, and stainless steel construction, respectively, along with supurb build quality.
I will now speak specifically about cold and hot liquids in the bottle, as well as a lid (something that is very important to a bottle.
Cold: This is what it seems to handle the best. Ice stays frozen for hours (seems like up to 10 or 12 hours sometimes), and ice water will stay pleasantly cold for nearly 20 hours. I put water with ice in the bottle around 3:00 one afternoon, and it was still quite cold the following morning around 10:00. Another advantage of keeping very cold water in this bottle versus a non-insulated klean kanteen is the fact that it does not sweat.
Hot: Coffee from my keurig coffee machine stays at a delectible temperature for up to 5 hours after brewing with this bottle. With a traditional coffee pot, or a french press (where the temperature is usually higher than a keurig's serving temperature) would last longer. I have not tested this personally.
Lid: This is the weakest part of the bottle by far. There are two things about the lid which bothers me quite a bit. Firstly, the lid is not supposed to be fully submerged in water when washing. Water "under pressure" can leak into the lid and have no hopes of getting out. Secondly, and partially due to the difficulty of cleaning caused by the first point, the lid seems to smell strongly of whatever you have been drinking. This is most evident with coffee. Otherwise, the lid keeps a tight seal when on the bottle, and leaves you feeling comfortable tossing the bottle in your bag with a computer and notebooks, etc.
Summary:
This bottle is great, and does as it advertises quite brilliantly. It handles hot and cold liquids well, and makes taking your drinks wherever you go easy and pain-free. Unfortunately, the lid made a nearly-perfect bottle not entirely perfect in the end.
Stainless insulated is the best May 21, 2010

For keeping cold liquids cold, stainless steel insulated containers are the absolute best. I've tried double wall plastic bottles and they're less than half as effective at insulating liquids as stainless steel. I already have two other stainless insulated bottles -- a 12-ounce Thinksport and a 26-ounce Thermos hydration bottle. But I wanted something in between in size and the 16-ounce Kleen Kanteen fit the bill perfectly.
How does it compare to the Thinksport and Thermos? All are equally great and effective at keeping cold drinks very cold for an extremely long period of time. I can fill any of these three bottles up with ice water at 7 in the morning, and 12 hours later the water will still be icy cold. So if you're trying to decide among different brands, it all comes down to capacity, shape, and the type of cap(s) each offers.
The Klean Kanteen, especially with the cafe cap, is the best for an office/desk or home environment. Its shape compared to Thinksport and Thermos is less like a sports bottle and more like a normal drinking cup, which I like. Plus, the optional cafe cap which I bought is the most convenient top for casual quick sips. Sure, it's only splash resistant -- not leakproof -- but I haven't found that to be a problem at home or the office. When I'm on the go, though,I have to put on the loop cap that came with the bottle to avoid leaks. What would be ideal is if Klean Kanteen can make a sports cap for this bottle that is leakproof (like the tops of the Thinksport and Thermos hydration bottles).
In the meantime, if you are adventurous and want another more convenient cap option for this bottle when you're out and about, you can try Humangear's capCap. I have one and tried it on this bottle. It's almost a perfect fit, but not quite. A few drops escape from the side where the cap screws on, but it's way more leakproof than the cafe cap when tipped over. The capCap would thus be best for when you want something less leaky than the cafe cap but don't demand absolute watertightness.
So I can highly recommend Klean Kanteen's insulated bottles, both for the multiple cap options (which Thermos and Thinksport don't have) and for its shape & looks. I am thinking of buying another in the 20-ounce size.

I own a regular Klean Kanteen and used it occasionally. I liked the idea of a long term stainless bottle but it did very poorly keeping things cold, compared to, say, a Nalgene bottle. The thinner steel is far less insulating than polycarbonate. It also made tons of condensation.
This Klean Kanteen is about as opposite as you get from that. It keeps things colder longer than any Thermos I've ever had, and seemed to do well with hot stuff too, although I've only tried hot chocolate one time and drank it quickly. I just filled it with ice water and shook it for several minutes, and the outside was still the same temperature, amazingly insulted. Also, the top is big enough to put ice in with ease, another issue with the original Klean Kanteens.
I have experienced no leaks, and I haven't treated it very nicely. It's been in gym bags and all over my car, and it's falling onto concrete once. The only slight downside to this bottle is that it's bigger than a normal 20 ounce bottle, because of the insulation jacket, but there's nothing that can be done about that. It's completely reasonably sized.
If you are willing to spend $25 on a bottle (I had to grit my teeth over this too), this is a SUPERB one to buy. It is worth every penny.
